Exciting Updates for Google Maps Users
For Android users, the wait is finally over as Google Maps introduces new car icon choices! Last November, Google began testing these updates exclusively for iOS users, but now, Android users are set to enjoy the same level of customization.
Expanded Icon Selection
Since 2020, Google Maps has allowed users to select their navigation icon from a limited range of cars, including a red sedan, a yellow SUV, and a green pickup truck. However, with the newest update, the selection is about to get a significant upgrade. Users will now have access to additional vehicle options such as a luxury sedan, a rugged off-road truck, an SUV, a sports car, and even a hatchback!
Color Choices to Fit Your Style
Moreover, customization doesn’t stop at just the vehicle type. Google Maps will also offer eight vibrant color options for your icons: glacier white, night black, ash gray, poppy red, sky blue, sunny yellow, aqua green, and sunset magenta. These choices provide a fun way to personalize your in-app experience, mirroring the variety that iOS users have enjoyed.
If you prefer the classic look, there’s no need to worry; the original three vehicle icons will still be available in the selection carousel. So, get ready to hit the road with your favorite car icon as Google Maps enhances your navigation experience!
